Command and control configuration based on service reconfiguration for Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Command and control reconfiguration ability for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) plays an important role in network-centric warfare environment. A novel command and control configuration method based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for UAS was proposed. The command and control authority for UAS was abstracted as a service. Based on SOA, the system architecture and interaction mechanism for UAS were established, and dynamic reconfiguration ability for UAS was achieved to complete information interacting and processing. UAS simulation system was designed and developed, which was used for validation. The simulation results proved that the methods and technologies involved was effectively able to solve the problem of command and control configuration for UAS.
